“Dylan’s” 89. Back at it!

[chris85]

Sorry I never got back to you on the windshield, did that go ok?

No problem, Yeah it went well. $220 so I’m happy with that.

I think I'm going to try a1auto when I get to that point on my suburban, good to know to avoid lmc

Yeah I think I’ve seen good things about A1, they just didn’t cross my mind when I ordered. I think I was just trying to look something up and impulsively bought everything from LMC.

I typical just buy the small odd and end things from them that no one else seems to have

So, are you bringing it on the Mississippi mud camping trip next weekend?

So, are you bringing it on the Mississippi mud camping trip next weekend?

Nah it still needs exhaust and some other stuff to be road worthy. We’ll be in Biloxi on a small Anniversary trip anyway.

 

[chris85]

Looking at picking up some interior stuff, kick panel speaker holders and the center dash speaker. Looking at getting one of those in case I run a cage through the side dash speaker holes later. Anyone know what size to get? Not gonna order that from LMC.

Nothing is more romantic than camping with strangers..... just saying lol

Went and saw my wife’s favorite band and they are now one of my favorites just because of their new album cover.

So it's been a a few days, hows the paint now that it's had time to cure, etc?

 

[chris85]

Paints all good. Worked some this weekend getting ready for the bedliner but ran out of steam and haven’t touched in a couple days. Pretty much just need to tape everything off and have at it.

Laid out the lines for where I want the ALS to come up to. Might be a little high but I’m trying to cover up some of the bug spots to make the paint do-over less of a task.

Cute zebra.

Dylan’s 3rd birthday party.

“Young, Wild and Three” Kid is definitely wild!

 

[chris85]

I’m about to start scuffing this fresh paint for liner Little nervous.

 

[chris85]

Here we go again

 

[chris85]

Finally got some rear brake in this thing, but when bleeding there seems to be a significant difference in the amount of pressure between the front and rears. The rear having less pressure. I’m thinking the master cylinder just does not produce enough volume displacement.

I went ahead and ordered a 3/4 master cylinder with the 1.25” bore vs the stock 1.125”. Hoping that little extra volume with make a difference. Gotta get it driving around and see!

 

[chris85]

Never painting anything ever again

Never painting anything ever again

Funny and scary at the same time. Looks like the wind is not your friend today.

 

[chris85]

It’s not near as bad as when I did the paint. It’s just all the prep to spray something. Geez.

 

[chris85]

First spray

 

[nvrenuf]

Oh nice, I was expecting the usual black. Going to paint the top the same color?

 

[chris85]

Nah, gonna keep it white. Hoping just a good pressure washing will get it looking good. But I do want a soft topper so when that happens it will be grey as well

 

[chris85]

I should’ve learned my lesson the first time with ALS. Good stuff but that 20 min pot life puts me in a panic
